mother goose in town

late wednesday night (the 19th), ben's mom flew into cyprus to stay in larnaca for the week.  we planned to go down to see her the following day because it was really too late to do a round-trip journey at the time she got in.


thursday, ben had shooting in the morning and a practice at night, but the idea was to go in between, have some lunch, sit by the pool, and catch up.  mister benjamin gets home from shooting & the sole of his shoe looks like it's talking.  it is literally dangling off from the bottom of the shoe.  the first game of the season is in a couple of days, so we decide it's necessary to make a pit-stop in nicosia at the shoe place his team gets a discount at before heading down (in the opposite direction) to larnaca.


we stop, ben finds shoes that he's obsessed with, used to play in back in the day, change colors, sing, and dance, so we're good to go.


at about 2, we're in larnaca... only an hour or so after we had told sue we'd be there.  i take all of three seconds to take my clothes off and find myself a nice spot in the sun to enjoy the beautiful day. 

meanwhile, much to sue's dismay, ben didn't bring his shorts.  "i just can't belieeeeevee you're not going to take advantage of the facilities!"  she was right, though, ben pretty much looks like an idiot sitting in khaki shorts, a black polo, and a fitted hat, while sue & i are lounging in our bathing suits.

we chill for a couple hours, catching up, grab some food, and then have to make our way back home to get the big boy ready for practice.  the day flew by and was over way too quickly, but we made plans for her to bus it up to us the next day, and the whole week was in front of us, so it wasn't too bad.


pretty uneventful day, but sometimes those are the best, right? beautiful sunset to end a beautiful day :)
